My Aunt Becky was an amazing lady and cook. She was passionate about good food. Sadly, she passed away a couple of years ago. I think of her often especially when I make guacamole. The first time I ever had it was at her home. I've never had guacamole I like as well as hers. Husband and I had this tonight with our veggie fajitas. I hope you enjoy her recipe as much as we do.
Guacamole
Ingredients:
2 avocados mashed
1 tomato chopped
2-3 cloves of minced garlic
1 onion chopped
juice of 1/2 lime
handful of chopped cilantro
olive oil - just a swirl around the bowl
salt and pepper to taste
Simply mix all ingredients and eat! I could make a meal on this with a good tortilla chip.
A variation to this is to add chopped basil instead of the cilantro, different, but equally great.
Since you went to all the trouble to make fresh guacamole you might as well make a great Margarita to go with it. I am so against the neon green mixtures you find in grocery stores full of high-fructose corn syrup. This recipe is for a Margarita the way it was intended, tart and refreshing.
Classic Margarita
2 oz silver agave tequila
1 oz triple sec
Juice of 1 large lime
1 tsp agave syrup ( you will find this in the baking aisle near sugar)
Coarse salt for garnish
Rub the rim of a glass with lime and rub it in the coarse salt. Add ice to the glass. Combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave syrup in a cocktail shaker or jar and shake for 30 seconds. Pour into salted glass and enjoy.
